Trust Is An Active Engagement In The Unknown

10 MINUTES TO LESS SUFFERING

"Trust is an active engagement with the unknown." – Esther Perel

This episode explores how trust is not just about people or outcomes. It is about leaning into uncertainty and engaging with life as it unfolds. Fear, stress, and hesitation often hold us back, yet the simple idea of Maybe can become a bridge that allows us to move forward when trust feels impossible.

If you have ever resisted pursuing a dream, applying for a job, or taking a chance because you did not trust yourself or the future, this episode offers a new way forward. When we open to the unknown, we create resilience, courage, and the possibility to live more fully.
